I made a card for a 16 year old friend for his birthday. I used the Cricut® Artfully Sent Digital Collection to cut the outline of the card. I reduced the size from recommended 7 inches to 5.5 inches so it would be closer to the cards and envelopes size. I used an envelope to put the finished card in White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack.

I used all the coloured cardstock as per the Tic-tac-Toe board with the card cut using Sapphire Cardstock and the middle added white to it and stamped in Sapphire Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad on the B the number 16. 

I also cut a bike from grey cardstock from the Artfully sent collection and stuck it inside the card to give a pop out style card (I hope the video works). The boy that received the card, rides in State competition level at the velodrome so it was a nod to that. The silver L in Celebrate was using Silver Shimmer Trim. So there is a seam. I couldn't find my silver glitter paper. 

The Saffron and nectarine cardstocks turned out looking very similar in my photo. It was very hard in the lighting to get all the colours to look correct. Too much light washed them out and too little light made some of the colours darken. 

To create your own customised cardstock pack you can log onto my consultant website and order a 12 pack or 24 pack of cardstock of your choice. This is so good to order. Minimum of 2 sheets of each colour. check out here the two options. So good!!

Lets hope my video works to see the card pop.

Colour Dare #402 Monochromatic Blues

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #402 is Blue Monochromatic. Black, White, Silver and Neutrals are free to use. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #402 and add your entry. 

The card I made was for our Scout Leader who has done so much for our Scout Group during the lock-down stages within Western Australia. When we went back to Face-to-Face Scouting our Support Committee suggested a card to show our appreciation and our Scout Group Leader (my husband) commissioned me to make one... and by commissioned I mean "asked nicely for me to voluntarily make a card for no reimbursement". I was most happy to add my card making skills to gift this leader who has worked so hard for our youth. 

I used the Aurora Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet plus the Aurora Cardmaking Kit (since sold out) with the banner and world thin cuts cut with Glacier Cardstock, Peacock Cardstock and White Daisy Cardstock. 

To adhere the globe to the circle thin cut, I used Dual-tip Permanent Glue Pen and then the rest I used either Tombow® Permanent Adhesive with some height mixture of 3-D Foam Tape & Thin 3-D Foam Tape.

The Title "You're the Best" is from June's Stamp of the Month and the "You Mean the World to me" stamp was from the Aurora Cardmaking stamp set. I masked the "me" off and used an alphabet stamp to add the word "US" to the end as it came from the group so I needed it to say "You mean the world to us!". I added the blue and peacock paper from the  Aurora Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet and then added some white Shimmer trim (this is retired but you can still get silver Shimmer Trim which would have also worked on this card). I cut the white shimmer trim in half with my Aluminum Cut Rail Paper Trimmer. To cut shimmer trim I acutally stuck it to the trimmer and then peeled it off again. You can see I didn't cut perfectly in half so I put the larger half on the bottom and the smaller half on the top to show the weighting. 

All stuck onto a White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack card.
